Hi, here's chapter two. Things should be getting interesting now. I really hope you enjoy and thanks again to Moonwhisper and Sushigirl07 for reviewing my first chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Cowboy Bebop. Never have and never will, but I do own this story so please NO STEALING!! ^_^.
Faye woke up the next day with a slight headache. With her eyes still closed she put a hand on her aching forehead only to find beads of sweat were there. She looked up at the fan. It was off.
"Oh great," she said grumpily. "I forgot to turn on the fan, and this headache isn't making it any better either." She looked at her watch. It was 6:00 am. Then got up and took a shower.
As she stood there, the water beating on her back, she wondered how she had slept for 18 hours straight and thought about the strange dream she had during these 18 hours.
*** Dream ***
Faye opened her eyes to find herself in the middle of a dark forest. Hoping that if she started walking she could probably find a way out, she began a long journey down a path.
"Hello? Is anybody here?" she called out in no particular direction.
She had been walking for long time now and was just about to give up. The only answer she received was a sudden gust of wind that blew on her back. When she turned around the only thing she saw was a pair of red eyes staring back at her from a nearby bush. Faye froze on the spot. What it was, were it came from, and if it was friendly were the only thoughts that plagued her head. The creature in the bush, seeming to be angry at Faye's staring, began to growl. Faye took this as her queue to run. She ran down the path as fast as she could ignoring branches as they cut her delicate skin. Frequently she would look back at her pursuer to see if she had eluded it. But to her disappointment it was right behind her and getting closer. She then decided that she wasn't going to look back at those horrid eyes again and instead look for a hiding place. Unfortunately she tripped over a huge tree root and hit her head leaving her unconscience, and her pursuer still coming closer.

After her shower Faye went to the living room and surprisingly Spike was already there. He was looking at something on the computer while drinking a cup of coffee.
"Hey Spike."
"Good morning to you too Faye." He answered not taking his eyes off the computer screen.
"Where's Jet?"
"Sleeping, he was out all night trying to gather some information about the new bounty."
"You never told me you were a bounty hunter." She said walking towards him, curious to see what he was looking at.
"Well, you never asked."
"WOW, TEN MILLION WOOLONGS! FOR THIS GUY?!" Faye exclaimed looking at the picture. It was a tall, boney man with long silky black hair, piercing black eyes and he seriously looked like he needed a tan.
"They call him the Black Raven, but his real name is Melvin. It's been said that he's a vampire.
"That guy, no way. Just look at him. How on earth could he possibly be a vampire?"
"It's not what he is, it's what he does."
"What do you mean, what he does?"
"He's a supplier," Faye gave him a puzzled look. "Meaning that he kidnaps people, and then sells them to vampires as slaves or food." Spike explained. "I haven't seen a supplier for a while now." He continued, rubbing his chin. "They move very quickly, like a hawk. A guy could be beside you one minute, next thing you know, he's gone. This one must be getting slow or they wouldn't have been able to identify him."
Faye looked at him questionably. "So, how do you know all of this?"
"It's not like I haven't done this before, Faye. I do this for a living"
"You're a slayer?" she asked him. Shock plainly written all over her face. Spike only smirked at her reaction. "How come you never told me Spike?" she asked him again, putting emphasis on the 'me'.
"As I said before, you never asked." He replied, a smirk still on his face. "Besides, it would only put you in danger and put me in even more danger than I already am in."
"So," she said changing the subject. "How do we catch this guy anyway? He is a vampire."
"Well, thanks to Jet we now know where he hangs out." He said handing her a piece of paper.
"The Atlantis Night Club." She said, "Let me guess, there're too many people there to notice him, lots of people to kidnap and they're probably too drunk to even notice that they're being kidnapped."
"Exactly. I'm glad that my darling isn't that clueless."
Spike then got up from his chair and headed for the kitchen. "Whatever." said Faye who was now walking behind him.

Spike and Faye headed out to the night club that night in hope of catching the bounty. Spike didn't like the idea of Faye tagging along though and tried very hard to change her mind. Although she was a bounty hunter, she also had no experience with theses kind of bounties and would surely get hurt. Personally, Spike wasn't just doing this for the money or the fact that he didn't have to bring them back alive. He was doing this to take revenge on them for what they had done to his mother. Nobody deserved to die like that. And the fact that nobody knew why was just as bad. Horrible images of his dead mother flashed before his eyes like a movie. He looked down at Faye as they walked down the street towards the club, fearing that something bad would happen to her. He was surprised at his feelings for her, but, even more surprised at the long line before him.
"Faye, please tell me that is not the line."
"Sure, but I would be telling a lie."
Spike sighed. "How are we supposed to get in now?"
"Leave that to me" said Faye in a devilish voice as she took off her jacket, revealing to Spike and all other bystanders the black dress she was wearing (complete with heels). It was a very short spaghetti strap dress with a v-neck which clung to her like a second skin. She then walked confidently to the bouncer putting on a sexy smile.
"Hey," she said to the tall and muscular man before her in a seductive voice. "When do you get off?" The bouncer immediately returned the smile.
"At 1:00 but I can let Charlie take my space." He replied. And just in time as Faye pressed her lips against his giving him the best kiss he had ever had in his entire life. They really seemed to be enjoying themselves and received abundant applause from the people in the line. Spike wasn't too happy about this but acted as though nothing was wrong. Taking this as a good opportunity to get to go inside unnoticed, Spike slipped past them and into the club. About ten seconds after that other people were racing to get in causing a stampede and a good way for Faye to escape.
After searching for about ten minutes, Faye finally found Spike at the bar buying a drink. "You know," she said putting her hands on her hips. "After what I just did for you I seriously thought that you would wait on me."
"Why Faye, I would have waited on you, but, you seemed to be enjoying yourself. So I said to myself: Why spoil your fun?" Faye only grunted in reply as she sat on the stool beside his. She immediately ordered a drink hoping it would remove the horrible taste from her mouth. That guy wasn't exactly Prince Charming nor did he have fresh breath and she had a very good theory that he had had pork for dinner. When Faye had almost reached halfway through her fifth drink she heard a faint scream. Before she knew it, she found herself wandering around the club with a stake in her hand searching for Black Raven. Soon she heard another but this one was much louder. Faye then quickly headed in the direction of the scream which she had discovered to be very lonely. Faye slowly began to search for a clue to where they could have gone to. Her heart beating faster and faster with every step she took, but, as she neared the spot she found that she was face to face with Black Raven himself. Faye stood there in shock as he smiled evilly at her, his fangs in plain view. Faye's hands trembled with fear causing her to drop the stake.
"I've been looking for you." He said in a deep voice as he grabbed her from around the waist.
Faye let out a shrill cry that would make a banshee proud as he moved quickly with her through the mass of people and out the back door. The extremely loud music blocking out her screams and to her great surprise there was Spike, stake in hand and ready for action. Raven hastily dropped Faye on the ground and engaged in a thrilling battle with Spike. Her jaw practically dropped when she saw Spike fighting Raven. His movements were swift and graceful, like a dance. His punches so accurate and his kicks incredibly powerful. What speed? What strength? Was it even possible for one to do those things? And yet, his opponent never seemed amazed at his abilities. But she figured that he had had a lot of practice and had grown used to their swift movements. Finally, Spike ended the fight putting a stake through his heart.
"Spike, that was amazing!"
"Ahh, it was nothing really."
"Spike?" said the voice of the dying Raven. "Are you Spike? I must know!"
"Yes, I am Spike" Spike replied a little confused. It didn't make sense hiding it if he was going to die.
"Why don't you come back. please?" he said in a weak voice.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He replied turning his back to Raven and helping Faye to her feet.
"Our queen needs you.please." Raven pleaded with him. "Queen Julia needs you."
"Julia?!" Spike and Faye exclaimed in unison. Spike then went over to the vampire's body hoping to get some answers, but, unfortunately he was already dead.
Well, what do you think? I know I probably messed up the fighting part but I really tried. I guess it's just not my thing. PLEASE REVIEW!! The more reviews I get, the more I'll write.
